Inforum's Annual Auto Show Breakfast Kicks Off New Year
Jan 11, 2013, 03:28 EST
DETROIT, Jan. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Inforum kicks off the New Year with its 11th Annual Auto Show Breakfast featuring Sergio Marchionne, chairman and CEO, Chrysler Group LLC and CEO, Fiat S.p.A. The event is sold-out with an audience of 1,000 who will be in attendance. Chrysler and KPMG LLP are presenting sponsors of the event. The Honorable Debbie Stabenow will give opening remarks.
At the helm of Chrysler's dramatic turnaround, Marchionne is bringing together two companies with cultures as different as its global brands Alfa Romeo and Jeep. Marchionne will give a presentation covering a range of topics, including his leadership principles, winning the talent war with diversity and inclusion, and the making of those famous Super Bowl ads.
Joining Marchionne on stage for Q&A is Rebecca Lindland, director of research for IHS Automotive. Lindland is part of an 8-person global team responsible for evaluating and assessing OEMs that participate in the U.S. and Canada marketplaces.
"We are excited to kick off our first event of the year with such a fascinating and transformative leader as Mr. Marchionne," said Terry Barclay, president and CEO of Inforum and Inforum Center for Leadership. "Over the past decade, Inforum's Auto Show Breakfast has become an anticipated event during one of the most important weeks of the year in southeast Michigan."

Leatherwood Online is preparing for a big move, and a name change.

Wooden Boat Festival a big success
Australia's rich maritime culture was celebrated at the seventh Australian Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart recently. Since 1994, the biennial event in and around Hobart's docks has celebrated the unique character and appeal of craft constructed from timber, the world's traditional and time-honoured boat-building material. With its superb native specialty timbers such as Huon and King Billy pine, Tasmania is the ideal location to showcase the craft and art of wooden boat design and construction. This festival showcased a record number of vessels with more than 500 boats ranging from dinghies to tall ships. End-to-end they would form a 4.5km flotilla!
Historic vessel to return to Tasmania
The owner of a historic Tasmanian sailing boat says it is returning to the state. A tourist operator from New South Wales, Alan Draper, found out the boat he bought years ago is in fact a Tasmanian Ketch called the Lenna.

Half century for Beatle killers
Bands come and bands go — and a few keep on keeping on. The Kravats have been entertaining Tasmanians for 50 years, a longer career than the grandads of rock, the Rolling Stones. In the early days they supported legendary Australian and international stars in Hobart, including Col Joye, Conway Twitty, Lloyd Price and Johnny O'Keefe.

Letter from Scamander
Bob and Virginia Dickason, readers and friends who run a small store and the post office in the fire-ravaged community at Scamander finally managed to get online last night:
We're fine. The power and the mobile phone and radio and TV relay was up on a hill where the fire started and has been off since Monday, about 5pm, until this afternoon so life has been somewhat different, and, as one of the locals said "We'll all smell the same!"

Antarctica 2007 calendars
Just four months old and already weighing 140kg, this Southern elephant seal, takes it easy on Macquarie Island while posing for Iain Field, a contributor to Antarctica 2007: Images of a Frozen Land — the popular calendar produced in Tasmania.

Fragile coastline under threat
Ralphs Bay, a sweeping inlet south-east of Hobart, is a rich tidal soup that sustains abundant migratory and endemic birds, and provides a timeless marine haven for shellfish, seahorses, the critically endangered Spotted Handfish, and other denizens of the shallows. Its unique place in Tasmania's ecology is now under threat. Sydney-based Walker Corporation proposes to build Tasmania's first 'Gold Coast style' canal housing estate — with 500 homes and a marina on the footprint of the Ralphs Bay Conservation Area.

Tassie's weather confuses all
There's an old joke about Tasmania: 'If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes'. How true. In recent weeks our weather has done it all. We've gone from heatwaves and roaring bushfires [see below] to deadly frosts [which wiped out half the fruit crops in southern Tasmania] to widespread snow yesterday [October 27] and overnight. Keep an eye on our webcam focussed on Mt Wellington day and night for updates.
Rivers of fire
RIVERS OF FIRE | Hobart photographer Ian Stewart captured an amazing panoramic photograph of the fires that ravaged the Eastern Shore this week. The image above is just a small portion of the whole scene. Click here to see the full panorama. Ian has a gallery of his creative images on his web site.
A Tassie vote needed
Since our launch nearly three years ago, Stuart Gibson's stunning surf portolios have been among the most viewed features on Leatherwood Online. The young photographer's dedication to his vocation is now beginning to pay off, and he can do with a little help.

Cornerstone of history
By PATSY HOLLIS | Slicing like an arrowhead where Forest Road splits left from Goulburn Street in West Hobart, Pendragon Hall is outwardly a church, with mind-blowing leaded windows, a steeple and tall lancet-shaped heavy wooden doors. Inside it has been adapted for private living, though still retaining charming ecclesiastical detail. This 150-year-old landmark is now on the market again. Read more here …
Spring Equinox show time
Leatherwood Online's webcam feed [courtesy of Rose Bay High School] captured some typical Spring Equinox weather on the morning of September 23. In less than four hours Hobart and Mt Wellington saw gales, snow, rain, sleet and bright sunshine, but not necessarily in that order. Enjoy the volatile show here.
Getting ready for 2007
Tasmanian photographer and publisher Rob Blakers continues his celebration of Tasmanian wilderness with the release of his 2007 desk diary and calendars. Photographers Dennis Harding and Grant Dixon [whose sea kayaker, Furneaux Islands, Bass Strait is shown above] have also contributed. Explore more in our Book Review section.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities in California, Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, Louisiana, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi and Ohio are scouring cold case files in the wake of the arrest and ensuing investigation of a suspected serial killer charged in the slayings of three Los Angeles women in the 1980s.
LAPD detectives say DNA evidence connects 72-year-old Samuel Little to the California killings and allege he could have more victims going back decades. Their probe has turned up several cases in which he was a suspect or convicted. One, in Mississippi, has been reopened.
Detectives allege Little, a former boxer, often delivered a knockout punch to women and then strangled them while sexually pleasuring himself, soon after leaving town. Little has pleaded not guilty. He is scheduled to appear in court later this month.

Paramount Pictures and Polygram Filmed Entertainment are negotiating to enter into a three-year, co-financing arrangement that would encompass an estimated 10 to 12 big-budget films, sources said. The deal is ex-pected to include a third party.
Sources close to the negotiations said that the deal is not expected to be finalized until the summer.
Polygram has entered into discussions with South Korean investors for outside financing — said to be 20% — of the overall slate.
Under the terms of the proposed deal, whichever partner originates a project would take domestic rights; the other partner would get foreign. In Paramount's case, UIP would handle overseas.
For Paramount, the deal would continue its co-financing strategy for bigger-budgeted films with a familiar partner. The studio and Polygram have joined forces on such films as "The Relic," the summer offering "The Flood" and Jodie Foster's Egg Prods.' "Home for the Holidays." All were distributed domestically by Paramount with Polygram handling overseas distribution.
For Polygram, the deal would help establish its presence as a domestic distributor and would further its goal of producing big-budget films within a framework that spreads the financial risk over a number of years.
Polygram has been moving toward its long-term goals aggressively, having recently signed A-list talent such as Michael Douglas in Propaganda's "The Game" and Robin Williams in Interscope's "What Dreams May Come." The Dutch conglom also recently tapped former TriStar distrib head William Soady to steer its own nascent U.S. distrib division.
The hitch in the deal may be the Koreans. While as many as five South Korean companies have been wooed, the economy there is grappling with a severe foreign trade deficit; it's been hard hit by a strong dollar, with the dwon plummeting against the greenback in the last five months. Korean distribs also have suffered losses from disastrous output deals with some U.S. indie film companies.
The Poly/Par deal would join several other co-financing arrangements that Paramount has entered into, including ones with Douglas/Reuther, Lakeshore Entertainment, Cloud Nine Entertainment and more recently Seven Arts.
Par also has entered into such one-off, split-rights deals as "Titanic" with 20th Century Fox and "Face Off" with Disney. With both films, Paramount is handling domestic distribution and the other studios will distribute foreign.

"Remember, every 1,000 ears per acre is worth 5 bu. to 7 bu.," says Missy Bauer, Farm Journal Associate Field Agronomist. "It's pretty common to pick up several thousand ears per acre as a result of good planter setup, and that can result in significant additional revenue," she adds. Bauer recommends setting aside several days this winter to give planters a comprehensive check-up. The following are five common parts of the planter that farmers need to evaluate. Transmission. Look for anything that impacts how smoothly the planter runs, including chains, bearings and the main drive shaft. "Check the alignment on the drive shaft," Bauer says. "If it's a folding model, where it folds out, there's usually a spot where the shafts connect with a dog-ear-type mechanism, and that needs to be in alignment. Identify potentially frozen links in chains. Consider whether bearings are going bad. Look if rollers are turning and whether idlers are worn out." Parallel arms, bolts and bushings. Bauer says to perform what she calls "the rock test" by shaking the back of the row units up and down. If there is a lot of play in the units, Bauer suggests tightening all of the bolts. "If they're still loose, inspect the bolts to see if the threads are worn off and replace the bolts and bushings as needed," she recommends. If you're unsure, replace all of the bolts and bushings on one row unit and then compare with other units. Gauge wheel. The goal is to have no gap between the gauge wheel and disk opener. To evaluate, lift the gauge wheel as high as it would be in the field and then pull out on it. Disk openers. Worn disk openers won't let you to create a true "V" bottom. Check the diameter of each disk opener—Bauer allows only ½" of wear before replacing. "Be sure the point of contact is set correctly, too," she says. Seed tubes. Remove seed tubes and make sure they aren't broken or worn. Check the top of the tube for bent or cracked plastic that will keep the discharge chute of the seed meter from fitting into the seed tube properly. Check the middle of the tube for cracks. Bauer allows only ¼" of wear on seed-tube guards before replacing. If you replace the seed tube, replace the guard at the same time, she suggests. You can e-mail Rhonda Brooks at email@example.com.

Though I'm not going out on a limb to suggest a wine pairing, this is one of those desserts that is visually stunning and worthy of your holiday table! Kudos to Nan's teenage daughter, Anna, who created the decorative swirls. Nan says …Read More

PHILADELPHIA - January 4, 2013 --A man will serve prison time for his role in the fatal beating of a recent college graduate who was trying to hail a cab in Philadelphia.
Court records indicate 24-year-old Felix Carrillo pleaded guilty Friday to involuntary manslaughter. A judge then sentenced him to two to five years behind bars.
Carrillo is one of three suspects charged in the Jan. 14 death of 23-year-old Kevin Kless in Old City.
Police say the trio attacked Kless, possibly thinking his shouts at a passing taxi were directed at them.
The other two men are awaiting trial.
Kless graduated from Temple University in 2010. He had recently returned to the city for a job at an insurance firm after working in Harrisburg.

Maine Maritime Academy (3-1, 1-1 Bogan) at Westfield State (2-3, 1-1 Bogan)
October 8, 2011 • Alumni Field • Westfield, Massachusetts
For content, donload the.pdf version of this week's notes.
Series History: Today's game marks the 25th meeting between Maine Maritime Academy and Westfield State. The Mariners hold a 14-10 lead, riding a six game winning streak over the Owls.
The Last Meeting: Then-junior running back Nick Bourassa ran for 156 yards and three scores, but fullback Jim Bower stole the show as Maine Maritime ran to a 42-21 victory over Westfield State. Bower became the third MMA running back in the programs storied history to surpass the 5,000-yard plateau for rushing yards in a career.
Maine Maritime Last Week: Senior Tony Tokarz piled up 249 yards of total offense ad five touchdowns to lead Worcester State past Maine Maritime 39-22 in New England Football Conference Bogan Division action. The Lancers (5-0, 2-0) snapped a two-game skid against the Mariners (3-1, 1-1) to maintain their series lead, 12-10.
Westfield State Last Week: Westfield State forced four Bridgewater State turnovers and the Owls held on for a 10-7 victory in New England Football Conference Bogan Division action on Friday evening, Sept. 30. Westfield State, which did not commit any turnovers, improved its overall record to 2-3 (1-1 Bogan) while Bridgewater State slipped to 2-2 and 0-2 in the divisional standings. The contest marked the first ever night game at Swenson Field.
Rende Recognized: Quarterback Matthew Rende was recognized by the NEFC for his performance in last week's defeat at Worcester State. Rende rushed for 151 yards on 23 carries (6.6 yards per rush) and found the end zone twice. It was the ninth 100-yard rushing game of Rende's career and the first time this season that he was named to the Weekly Honor Roll.
On the Line: Maine Maritime rides into Westfield holding a six-game winning streak in the series. With both teams at 1-1 in the Boagn Division, a victory is necessary to keep the early pace.

Beautiful and Mesmerizing
Reviewer: Heather Caplice
I had previously owned this collection on a cassette, and finally purchased it in CD form. I still love it. There is nothing better than listening to this beautiful music after a rough day.
Not My Favorite
Reviewer: Jenny A. Feigl Sausalito CA
This Crimson is just okay. If you like Singh Kaur, Crimson Volume I is the way to go. I wrote a review of it too.
Reviewer: Celeste Laine Virginia USA
I fell in love with this beautiful CD when I heard it during my first trip to Arizona. This lovely music gives me great comfort.
Black & White photos of Singh Kaur by Elizabeth Sadhu
Singh Kaur (also known as Lorellei and Laura Drew) possessed both a keen compositional mind and a striking, crystalline voice.
Singh Kaur's musical journey was one of unique and magical magnitude. Her music reached a wide audience through the hugely popular Crimson Series albums recorded with Kim Robertson. Shortly thereafter, she joined Soundings of The Planet to produce her first Billboard-charting album, Instruments of Peace (1988), followed by What Child Is This, a Christmas album produced with Dean Evenson.
Singh Kaur was first exposed to the life of music at the age of five, listening to arias sung by her operatic grandmother. At age 14, she bought her first guitar and has been composing and arranging ever since. Her lyrical concepts can be traced to the 14 years that she spent in a yoga ashram studying ancient spiritual teachings and writing music to complement sacred texts.
Literally translated, Singh Kaur means Lion Princess, and a most appropriate name it was too. Long flowing red hair was her mane, accompanying an exuberant personality, both playful and ferocious. Yogi Bhajan, who crowned her with this name, often said that it held the key to her destiny: "Sing Singh Kaur!" As she sang, so did her soul touch the hearts of others, and in this way she bacame beloved to those who knew or heard her.

Dear Actionline: What should we do? Ron LeBlanc, City Manager (Sent from my Motorola ATRIX 4G on AT&T)
This is curiously reminiscent of a Batman episode when Commissioner Gordon calls the Caped Crusader on the special red Bat-Phone.
But thats where the similarities to Batman end.
As much as Action Line prides himself on being inclusive and open-minded, there are no plans for a boy-wonder sidekick dressed in tights.
A secret cave and a rocket-propelled car, however, would be cool. So would having a butler named Alfred. But thats beside the point.
The issue vexing our fair city is The Case of the Phone Call ADU Switcheroo.
First, some background. For 2½ years, the city has been trying to revise, update and rewrite the Land Use and Development Code. The rules now in effect are from 1989 and have been amended 160 times.
The new code is promised to be reflective of community plans and values.
One of the proposed changes is to legalize ADUs, or accessory dwelling units. Its basically a new rule allowing landowners in certain neighborhoods to turn their garage into an apartment or build an addition to rent out.
That has longtime resident Bruce Garlick upset. Were talking ballistic upset.
Bruce lives on West Second Avenue, one of the neighborhoods where ADUs would be allowed.
He doesnt like ADUs because he already has one nearby, complete with loud parties, three barking dogs, parking problems, trash and other quality-of-life issues.
I purchased my house more than 30 years ago specifically for the neighborhood. The new code could double the density around me, Bruce said.
I didnt buy my house to be in a crowded neighborhood.
What galls Bruce is that few residents are outraged that the city is plowing ahead with something that would create 500 new building lots in the city.
So he decided to do something sneaky. He called The Durango Herald classified ad department and placed this hoax online ad one Thursday:
ABSOLUTELY FREE BUILDING LOTS IN DURANGO absolutely free building lots in Durango Colorado for up to 500 lucky people. Call 970-375-4850 to see if you could be a winner.
The phone number was the direct line for the citys Planning and Community Development offices.
By Monday, the office received 25 calls, planning director Greg Hoch wrote in an email to Ron LeBlanc and the city attorney seeking guidance.
Ron did what any good city manager would do: He whipped out his cellphone and sent Action Line a text message.
So Action Line called Bruce Garlick. In a pleasant and thoughtful conversation, he said his scheme was to get people involved and draw attention to something thats a big deal, but no one seems to care about.
It got the citys attention all right. And now it has yours.
Should the city accommodate landowners who want an income stream and provide more apartments that presumably would be affordable? Or are ADUs a misguided step toward garage-dwelling sharecroppers? Some think so, including online commenter Carl Rand who defined ADUs as Sweetie-villes of poorly made student misery cells above camping gear and kayaks.
Some people think ADUs are A-OK. Others react to ADUs with OMG or WTF.
Whatever three initials reflect your opinion, we all need to be informed and involved. The code is scheduled for adoption April 23. Its not too late for your voice to be heard, pro or con.
Info on the proposed code is at www.durangocodeupdate.com along with dates for near-future meetings.
And regarding free stuff in the classified, know that its pretty much limited to kittens, puppies, roosters and an occasional free, you haul waterbed.
Maybe that used waterbed could be a lovely accessory for your ADU.
Email questions to firstname.lastname@example.com or mail them to Action Line, The Durango Herald, 1275 Main Ave., Durango, CO 81301. You can request anonymity if you knew the proposed land-use and development code requires sexually oriented theater/dancing establishments to have one parking space per 50 square feet of floor area.

Little Feet, Big Dreams fundraisers coming up
Rapid progress is being made on the new North Park elementary school, and the Little Feet, Big Dreams Campaign is in full swing to raise the funding required for the pieces of the project not covered by the bond. In the coming weeks, three fundraising projects are planned to give people the opportunity to help. And what a variety of projects they are!Sly's Chili Cook-Off: The first of the three is this weekend, with the 8th Annual Chili Cook-Off & Benefit Auction at Sylvester's March 9. Participants are encouraged to enter a crock pot of their favorite chili, with an entry fee of $5. Those attending the event will vote on their favorite, with cash prizes being awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. The evening will also include a live auction, and raffles for a $200 gas card, $100 cash and a 1974 Dodge Dart. All proceeds from the event will go to the Little Feet, Big Dreams campaign to be used for the purchase of playground equipment at North Park.BBHS Variety Show: Then just two days later, on March 11, the high school fine arts department will host a variety show in the Middle School Auditorium. Special "fun" performances are planned by the BBHS band, choir, speech and drama departments, beginning at 7 p.m. Cost for admission is $5 for adults, and $3 for children 12 and under. The evening will conclude with a back stage reception hosted by the Broken Bow Public Schools Foundation. Proceeds from this event will go directly to the Little Feet, Big Dreams fine arts facility project.PTA Flower Sales: Citizens will be given another opportunity to help with these projects as the Broken Bow PTA, in partnership with Arrow Seed, will again sponsor a Spring Flower Sale. Students began selling flowers the first of March, and will continue the sales until March 18. Proceeds from the flower sales will go toward the playground equipment at North Park. If you are not contacted and would like to purchase flowers, or for more information, contact Amy Cyboron at 872-6504 or Lisa Bell at 872-6177.Capitol Campaign: The Little Feet, Big Dreams is a capital campaign of the Broken Bow Public Schools Foundation. It was established to raise funding for North Park elementary im-provements not included in the $5.8 million project approved by voters in 2011. The Little Feet, Big Dreams campaign has been divided into four major projects: Project 1 - flooring and gym equipment for the new multi-purpose room Project 2 - playground equipment Project 3 - bleachers for the new multi-purpose room Project 4 - renovation of the Middle School gym as a performing arts center Here is where the fundraising campaign currently stands. • Project 1 = $82,574; floor and athletic equipment - $78,066.60 - LFBD fund $12,032.88 - Mem. fund $90,099.48 - $2,100 - designated for playground $87,999.48 - $39,975 - floor - $27,724 - athletic equip. - $9,875 - scoreboards $10,425.48 (this will be carried over to Project 2) • Project 2 = $100,000; playground equipment - $2,100 - designated donations $20,000 - City of BB $5,000 - Custer County Foundation Grant $27,100 • Project 3 = $35,000; bleachers • Project 4 = $1,000,000; fine arts facility - $140,781.84 - Marchek Performing Arts Center Fund $ 8,153.74 - performing arts fund $9,049.86 - Foundation funds $157,985.44PTA Can Drive: In addition to the upcoming fundraising projects mentioned above, the PTA is also sponsoring a can drive beginning the end of this month and running throughout the month of April. Cans can be dropped off at the designated site at Ag Land ATV.PTA Bid-A-Bag: The PTA hosted their 2nd annual "Bid-A-Bag" auction Feb. 2, which raised $4,700 which will go toward the playground equipment project. Co-chairs for that event, Pam Holcomb and Jackie Schinkel, were thrilled with the outcome of this year's event - last year's raised $1,810. If you are unable to attend the upcoming chili cook-off and auction Saturday, or the variety show Monday, but would like to donate to any of the Little Feet, Big Dreams campaign projects, you may send your donations to: Broken Bow Public Schools Foundation, 323 North 7th Ave., Broken Bow NE 68822. The Broken Bow Public Schools Foundation is under the umbrella of the Custer County Foundation which is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit corporation. Contributions are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Two men are charged with first-degree murder in the death of a 92-year-old Missouri woman.
Investigators say the Moberly woman's death apparently was part of a two-day crime spree.
Randolph County authorities charged 18-year-old Jeffery Jay Nichols and 22-year-old Christopher D. Lewis Monday, and bond was set at $1 million.
The two men were arrested in Macon after a search that began in Randolph County on Sunday.
Prosecutors say the two men allegedly stole several cars, shot two people, assaulted another woman, shoplifted and stole guns in Randolph and Macon counties.
The woman was found dead at her Moberly home when police tried to contact her about a vehicle that had been burned earlier in the day. Authorities aren't releasing her name or how she died.
Moberly is about 35 miles north of Columbia.

NZ communities part of global movement against cancer
This summer over 20,000 New Zealanders, including many Lions, will come together to celebrate, remember and fight back against cancer by participating in Relay For Life—the world's largest cancer engagement and fundraising activity.
New Zealand is one of 20 countries in which Relay For Life events are held. In 2013, a record-breaking 22 events will take place across the country, in addition to over 6100 Relay For Life events worldwide.
Often described as a life-changing experience, Relay is a team event to celebrate cancer survivors and caregivers; remember loved ones lost to cancer; and fight back against a disease that affects one in three New Zealanders. People of all ages and levels of fitness are welcome.
Each Relay begins with a moving Opening Ceremony, with cancer survivors and caregivers leading the first lap of the event. Team members then walk for 30-minute intervals, with some prefering to jog or run. When they're not on the track, participants enjoy on-site activities and entertainment.
At dusk, a Candlelight Ceremony is held. This is a time to remember loved ones who have been affected by cancer. Team members continue to walk/jog through the night, symbolising the fact that cancer never sleeps. In the morning, teams come together for an inspiring Closing Ceremony. This is a time to celebrate accomplishments and acknowledge the community's support and commitment.
Prior to each Relay event, teams raise funds and awareness to support the work of the Cancer Society of New Zealand. Local organising committees provide information and encouragement to help Relay teams every step of the way.
Families, service and community organisations, corporate groups, local businesses, schools and sporting clubs are encouraged to register their interest for Relay events happening this summer.
To learn more or to register your team, please visit www.relayforlife.org.nz or contact your local Cancer Society office.
Experience Relay For Life through our short video.

Reasons I feel cranky:
The new updated editor in Blogger is driving me crazy! I've been trying to write a post about a quilt retreat I went to yesterday afternoon/evening and trying to post multiple pictures is so frustrating and stupid. (Sorry to use that kind of language.)
I think I've been doing too much laundry.
I feel like I've been cleaning my house non-stop, every minute I've been home since we got back from our family trip this week. And looking around it looks just as messy as it did when I started.
I am so behind on all my emails. (Sorry if you're waiting to hear from me, the week ahead should be a lot less crazy.)
My computer is moving SO SLLOOWWW.
I'm tired.
This blog post is whiney and lame.
I shouldn't feel cranky but I do
Reasons I shouldn't feel cranky:
I got to go to part of a quilt retreat yesterday afternoon. It took some orchestration, but I got to sit and sew for a few hours straight! And eat a yummy dinner (that I didn't have to make!) with really nice (and funny) quilters. What a dream!
I got to go to sunny California with my entire family last weekend! And it was sunny and warm. (Now that my fabric stash is no longer alone and vulnerable, I can reveal my previously-undisclosed President's Day weekend vacation.)
I got to go to Super Target today! (Oh ST, how I miss you. – I live too far away to go once a week like I used to, but it was so good to be back.)
I hit a vintage sheet jackpot today. (The thrift store is right by Super Target so I snuck in a quick trip.) Great finds. I thought they didn't exist anymore.
I am eating chocolate chip cookies, which I made because I was feeling cranky and to share with my little Primary (Sunday School) class at Church tomorrow. (I think the cookies are helping.)
The Olympics are on. My kids are just as obsessed as I am. And I love having something to watch with them that we all like. (Except why all the creepy Shutter Island ads? Seriously, why?)
See? Great stuff. All this goodness should overcome the crankies.
So I think I should just go to bed and try again on Monday. At which point I promise not to be so whiney.

|One of the Aberlemno Stones showing
Christian and Pagan Symbols
Today, I wanted to discuss a topic that is often neglected although it is very interesting: the Picts and pictish art. When going through more of my old photos from my days in St. Andrews, I came across a packet of prints from an outing with some of my MLitt colleagues to visit pictish sites in Angus, Scotland. The main attraction for us was the wide array of ornate carvings on several pictish gravestones, most of which are maintained by Historic Scotland at the Meigle Museum which is itself an old school house on the A94 Coupar Angus to Forfar road (for those of you who are interested in visiting). This little museum is a true gem and well worth a visit.
Before looking at the carvings however, I suppose I should answer one simple question. Who were the Picts? We hear about them all the time, especially in relation to the Roman invasion of what is now Scotland by Agricola in AD 79. The action-packed movie CENTURION, which came out in 2010, deals with Agricola's operations north of the Firth of Forth and the presumed disappearance of the Ninth Legion. In the film, the Picts are portrayed as society run by a warrior elite, the members of which paint themselves with woad. The film is very entertaining, if not violent, but the best thing is that it was filmed where much of the history presumably took place. It is worth a gander for that, if anything. But were the Picts simply a mass of blue barbarians as they are so often portrayed? Likely not.
|Typical pictish symbols
The Pictish federation survived the various Roman incursions (the last one being the Severan invasion of Scotland in the early 3rd century). As a result the Picts were able to develop mechanisms of kingship and by the 6th century there was a Pictish kingdom.
In Pictish art, there are certain recurrant symbols such as those found on the Aberlemno stone including the 'serpent', the 'double-disc' and the 'Z-rod'. When I visited the Meigle museum I was struck immediately by the amount of Christian imagery, having had in my mind typical images of paganism when it came to the Picts. The presence of crosses and other Christian images is due to the conversion of the Picts to Christianity after the Irish abbot of Iona, St. Columba, ventured into Pictland in AD 565. Columba met the Pictish king, Bridei son of Maelchon in a fortress near the River Ness and thus began the conversion of the Picts, a process that was complete by about AD 700.
|Interior of Meigle Museum
The church yard at Meigle contained a large number of pictish stones, implying that Meigle was itself a very important centre of burial for the pictish church and under the patronage of the kings of the Picts. Eventually however, pictish rule, which had survived the onslaught of Rome, was taken over by the Gaelic-speaking settlers of Dalriadia (modern Argyll) which led to the reign of the Scots King, Kenneth mac Alpin and his subsequent dynasty.
|Cross-slab no.1
The Death of Queen Vanora
Hope you've enjoyed this. Once more, if you ever get the chance to visit Meigle's museum and some of the stones in the surrounding area, it is well worth it. If Picts are your thing, then you may also wish to visit Pictavia (http://www.pictavia.org.uk/), a new visitor centre and living history museum for pictish history in Angus, Scotland. If you visit Pictavia at the right time of year, you just may see the Picts and Rome's Legions do battle one last time!

This question is directed at anyone who lives somewhere. So as not to discriminate, those who do not live somewhere, but perhaps live somewhen instead, are also invited to participate, but only if they can explain how that works.
It's pretty open-ended really, but a few things to consider:
Even if you frequently move, or do not live most of any given year at a fixed address, I'm still looking for the same basic things: what keeps you in a state of moving around so much?
N.B. Don't feel obligated to answer those subquestions I asked. Photos, words, videos... whatever; answer however you damn well please. I'm mostly just curious about where other TA members are coming from, figuratively and literaly.

This is my home in Erie, PA. I like it here generally, and I can walk to the corner visit a land lighthouse and look at Canada on a clear day. There are plenty of parks, and wooded areas and there's a lot for families here.
Nice, my sister used to live in Erie PA, I used to go to that pier every time I was there visiting..
I live on the other side of the lake (Canadian Side) in Leamington, Ontario
I was born her, and I am still here because all of my family is here (besides my sister). The line of work I'm in is pretty much only in this area.
This is a fairly religious area, I went to a Catholic Grade School and High School but I never really bought into it.. My parents are not religious at all, I'm sure the only reason I got sent to that school was because it was close to my house, when I was young we would make an appearance at church on xmas while my dad waited in the car, but I haven't done that in years and I'm sure it was just to keep my grandma happy.. I'm open with it but not in your face about it so I'm sure lots of people who know me have no clue, but I'm sure when they find out it will be fine.
family and friends is what keeps us around or else i won't be freezing my ass in ohio.
the community is religious, but we still have darwin fish on our car, and i wear my atheist and peta t-shirts in the summer. We go to the Y and everybody over there knows of our non-beliefs. It doesn't bother me (maybe a little bit it does) that people are religious and have a faith based system but as long as they keep that to themselves, and don't interfere with my life with those beliefs.
I live in rural Idaho. I have been within fifty miles of my hometown all my life, more or less. I've been an atheist (or at least atheist-leaning) for years. I've never had a problem. I seem to attract like people, and those who are believers, love me enough to not give me crap about it. Plus, they know it would do no good. :o) There are a surprising number of atheists around here, actually.
I plan on moving when I get my nursing license, simply because it is difficult to find work around here. Plus, I could use an adventure. I am not seeking out atheist communities as possible places to move. I am seeking trees, mountains, good hunting, and snowy winters. I would love to live by the ocean. I can bring my atheism with me. I never feel isolated due to my atheism, even if it's just my family and I amongst the whole community. I am a representative of what atheism is to those who don't know. I've never felt it was a big deal, I guess.
My husband lived a huge part of his life in the west, he swears it is amazing when it comes to cultural acceptance of differences of beliefs.
We went to Canada the first year we were married, and drove through CO. and Montana, we had an issue at the border and had to spend the night over night for his work visa to clear. Long story, but we stopped in a bar there to get directions to the nearest hotel. It was an old church they had turned into a bar/saloon. I have always told him I wanted to move there, because if that had happened in AL, they would have burned the people at the stake just for having the idea of converting a church for such things.
I agree your Atheism is something you take with you.

Turn your Kuro into a Digital Video Recorder/Player
Although I have had my iPod Video for about 9 months I seldom watch video on it. I just can't bring myself to pay $2 for an episode of futurama when it is on TV every night. This month I will be installing a Hauppage WinTV-PVRUSB2 capture device on my Kuro and configuring it to automatically record shows and save them in my media directory so I can watch them at a later time with my Buffalo LinkTheater. It should also convert them to the format my iPod uses for viewing on my iPod Video.
The WinTV-PVRUSB2 comes with a remote control so I will be configuring the remote to work with my MP3 player, adding the standard set of controls to the MP3 player that are normally seen on a stereo system. I'll also be adding any other functionality that comes to mind as I work through this project.
The first step was to build a 2.6.18-rc3 kernel with V4L and PVRUSB2 support. Once that was complete the firmware needed to be extracted from the original windows driver disk. There were two (or three depending on the particular version) firmware files that needed to be extracted. They need to be copied into /lib/firmware. In order to get the firmware to load you will need to emerge hotplug, coldplug, and add coldplug to the default runlevel. It goes without saying (although I'm saying it anyway) that udev is also required, of course, your 2.6 kernel will not boot without udev.once Once that is done you should see something like the following in your dmesg:
usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usb 1-1: reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5 rs5c372_get_datetime(), i2c_transfer() returned -5 rs5c372_get_rtc_time:Command returned -5 msp3400 1-0040: MSP3445G-B8 found @ 0x80 (pvrusb2_a) msp3400 1-0040: MSP3445G-B8 supports radio, mode is autodetect and autoselect tuner 1-0043: chip found @ 0x86 (pvrusb2_a) tda9887 1-0043: tda988[5/6/7] found @ 0x43 (tuner) tuner 1-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (pvrusb2_a) saa7115 1-0021: saa7115 found @ 0x42 (pvrusb2_a) tveeprom 1-0050: Hauppauge model 29032, rev D158, serial# 7429455 tveeprom 1-0050: tuner model is Philips FM1236 MK3 (idx 58, type 43) tveeprom 1-0050: TV standards NTSC(M) (eeprom 0x08) tveeprom 1-0050: audio processor is MSP3445 (idx 12) tveeprom 1-0050: decoder processor is SAA7115 (idx 19) tveeprom 1-0050: has radio, has IR remote tuner 1-0061: type set to 43 (Philips NTSC MK3 (FM1236MK3 or FM1236/F)) msp3400 1-0040: MSP3445G-B8 rev1 = 0x0207 rev2 = 0x2d48 msp3400 1-0040: Audio: volume 65535 msp3400 1-0040: Audio: balance 0 bass 0 treble 0 loudness off msp3400 1-0040: Standard: autodetect start (mono) msp3400 1-0040: Audmode: 0x0001 msp3400 1-0040: Routing: 0x00000000 (input) 0x00000044 (output) msp3400 1-0040: ACB: 0x0c00 tda9887 1-0043: Data bytes: b=0x14 c=0x30 e=0x44 tuner 1-0061: Tuner mode: analog TV tuner 1-0061: Frequency: 175.25 MHz tuner 1-0061: Standard: 0x00000100 saa7115 1-0021: Audio frequency: 44100 Hz saa7115 1-0021: Input: Composite 4 saa7115 1-0021: Video signal: bad saa7115 1-0021: Frequency: 50 Hz saa7115 1-0021: Detected format: BW/No color pvrusb2: Device initialization completed successfully. pvrusb2: registered device video0 [mpeg]
Now that the kernel and hawdware part is working it is time to work on the software part of this project.
Installing software
The first application to install is lirc. Lirc will allow us to use the remote control that came with the WinTV-PVRUSB2.

The Nurse Practitioner Association New York State has announced the appointment of Dr. Stephen Ferrara, DNP, FNP-BC, to serve as the NPA executive director. Ferrara is a practicing senior clinical associate in a large urban hospital system in the Bronx, and a leader in creating legislation to advance the practice of nurse practitioners in New York state.
The path to this position started when Ferrara earned bachelor's degrees in both biology and nursing. He then completed a master's degree from Pace University and became a family nurse practitioner and graduated in the first cohort from Pace University's Doctor of Nursing Practice. A post-graduate fellowship in Health Information Technology for Clinician Leaders from George Washington University followed.
With prior positions in college, correctional and men's health, Ferrara brings more than a decade of clinical experience to his new post. He has lectured at numerous conferences and shared his vision for health care technology and integrating evidence-based practices into daily care with hundreds of patients and providers.
Ferrara's passion for advancing the practice of nurse practitioners in New York state has spearheaded recent discussions about the future of health care. NPA New York State said he is the key player responsible for the governor's advocacy to support enabling nurse practitioners to work autonomously without a written collaborative agreement with a licensed physician. This movement is known legislatively as the "Nurse Practitioners Modernization Act." Ferrara is being called upon by health department officials to shape that law, ensuring that areas throughout New York state will be fully served.
Ferrara has been the interim executive director of the NPA New York State since October, and has served as the NPA's membership chair (2008-09) and the board of director's president-elect (2012). Under his leadership as interim executive director, the NPA New York State has seen a 7 percent growth in membership and increased communications throughout the association. Currently, the membership is at an all-time high of 3,380.
Although many qualified candidates applied nationwide for the executive director position and an intense interview process was carried out, the NPA board of directors voted unanimously to hire Ferrara.
Jeanne Martin, ANP, president of the NPA, stated, "After meeting with Stephen and reviewing his credentials, we believe that his unique experience, education and skills will allow our association to continue growing while meeting its mission and values."
Ferrara will maintain his clinical practice in the Bronx and residence in White Plains with his wife, Melissa Ferrara, FNP, and his children, while traveling regularly to the Clifton Park NPA offices. In his new position, he will continue to work for full practice authority of nurse practitioners in New York state.
More information about the NPA New York State can be found atwww.thenpa.org.

Presenting the Patterns: Collaborating and Drafting
Lesson 14 of 16
Objective: SWBAT describe a pattern in the sky.
In the previous lesson, students chose a pattern in the sky and worked with a partner to draft key details about the pattern. Today, we will review our work thus far. Then, students will create rough drafts of an informational poster. Through the process of peer review, we will evaluate our posters and decide how to improve the final copies tomorrow!
While students are working, they will be able to reference multiple sources for additional information, including the KLEWS anchor chart, their science journals, and books about space.
The KLEWS anchor chart was used throughout the unit to record our new learning about patterns in the sky. This is a science-specific type of KWL chart designed with primary students in mind! Check out this video I like to call KLEWS chart 101:
Warm-Up (The Launch!)
To warm-up, we review all of the patterns in the sky by singing the first four verses of the Patterns in the Sky song.
Next, I remind students of our problem.
There is actually one other pattern that we will observe in the sky, however, we can't do it yet. We have to observe the last part in the spring, and then compare the spring data to our current winter data. I'm a bit worried that we might have a new student between then and now. If we get a new student, he or she may not have had this part of the unit. So, we need to describe the patterns we've seen so far. Then, in the spring, we'll remind our brains and teach any new friends by looking at them again!

Resources (1)
To begin, I tell students the trends that I saw in their work as I present samples. Then, together, we create an anchor chart of what their Informational Posters should contain. This anchor chart will be available for students to refer to throughout work time.
While students work, I circulate and check-in with students I identified when reviewing their Main Topic and Key Details organizers from the day before. When finished, students are also to check-in with me before getting poster paper. In this way, I can make sure they have completed their work.
One of the trends I noticed the previous day was that many students did not tell the "why's" behind their patterns. I wrote a sentence starter, "This happens because..." on the anchor chart. Two of the groups I checked in with, though, had not taken the advice. I steered them back to the sentence starter!
See how this student began to change her work after the initial teacher instruction: fixing up work.
After most students move on to posters, I do an all-call check-in. Students use thumbs-up, thumbs-sideways to reflect about where they are in their work. I find that self-reflection helps students focus on not only where they are currently, but also what their next task is.
Resources (7)
In closing, I play a transition song. Students bring me their poster drafts, and I tape them to the whiteboard.
I ask students to evaluate one another's posters. I ask a guiding question like, "What jumps out at you when you look at these posters? Which ones teach you about the pattern?"
Students turn-and-talk to discuss their reactions and ideas. I like to give them ample time, in order to make sure they have time to look at the details in the posters as well.
Then, I ask students what they liked best about the posters and why. Here are some responses:
After discussing posters, we make suggestions. I ask, "What could make this poster even better?" As we work together, I add to some of the posters (my marker was orange in the photographs).
Here are some of the posters we spent extra time thinking about:
- Poster Draft #1 Here the illustration showed the sun at the same position in the sky throughout the day. We discussed as a class how to add arrows and change the sun's position.
- Poster Draft #2 One student said how much she liked this poster because it is so colorful and eye-catching. But, when we looked closer, there was actually no illustration of the pattern and the text was seriously lacking. We talked about this being a good start, but still needing the information from the graphic organizer. We did use this poster as a sample, though, of how we could outline areas of the poster in colors to make them more appealing.
- Poster Draft #3 After reading the content aloud, my students agreed that this poster is fantastic! Then I asked, "What could this friend add?" Everyone called out, "Color!" I showed them how they could color key words, as well as the illustrations.

The Onsted High School girls basketball team defeated the Lenawee Christian Cougars 56-39 in a non-conference matchup Thursday night at LCS. Onsted proved too much to handle for the Cougars from the opening whistle until the final buzzer sounded.
The Wildcats (1-3) jumped out quickly on offense, with sharp-shooting senior guard Karah Slater lighting it up from behind the 3-point arc. Slater connected on four 3-pointers in the first quarter and helped her team establish an early lead. Onsted senior point guard Regan McNutt found Slater on the wing with light defensive pressure, while the Wildcats efficiently moved the ball around the perimeter.
Things got tougher for LCS (1-3) in the first half as foul trouble plagued the Cougars. The Cougars were already playing with a short roster, and the officials called the game very tight throughout. The Cougars ended up with 14 fouls called on them in the first half, and LCS coach Joe Long had to change his game plan early to keep his girls in the game.
"It was tough," Long said. "Our girls where persistent, though. They played hard and never gave up."
Despite some poor shooting from the free-throw line, Onsted was able to keep its lead near double digits, and when the first half ended, the Wildcats were ahead 30-18.
The second half was an entirely different game. LCS senior guard Laurel Schaaf rejuvenated the Cougar offense by scoring six points in the third quarter and dishing the ball well from the top of the key. Schaaf was able to swing the ball in down low to freshman center Kiara Nieto. Nieto dominated the second half for the Cougars, commanding double and triple teams whenever she touched the ball. Nieto's strong post moves and soft inside touch helped to bring the home team momentarily back into the game. Nieto added six in the third for the Cougars, and the quarter ended with the Wildcats in the lead 39-30.
Onsted turned its game up another notch in the fourth and final quarter. Slater began firing again and added another 3-pointer for the Wildcats, finishing with five triples in the game. Senior guard Ashlin Aiken and sophomore Lindsey Davis both contributed in the fourth quarter with two field goals made by each of them.
"What stood out to me today," Onsted coach Kara Gardner stated, "was that we never gave up. We continued to run with it, run with it and run with it. Regan and Karah played great. Our defense also impressed me today at times, but I wasn't happy with our free-throw shooting. We need to work on that."
Nieto and the Cougars fought back, but couldn't gather any momentum. Nieto scored seven points for LCS in the final quarter, but was the only Cougar to get on the board as shots were not falling for the rest of the team.
Nieto finished with 13 points and 13 rebounds for the Cougars. Schaaf finished with 12 points, and Emily Gordon added six points in the loss.
Slater finished the game for Onsted with 18 points, including her five 3s. McNutt added 11 points, and Aiken finished with seven points for the Wildcats.

The century-old annual Mummers Parade features thousands of performers dressed in colorful costumes adorned with sequins and feathers. Tuesday's parade boasted painted comics, string bands and other brigades marching down Broad Street, the city's main north-south thoroughfare.
Decked out in elaborate face paint, purple butterfly wings and souvenir beads from the last six Mummers parades, Tracy Rivera looked out from her perch in a downtown first-floor storefront window and surveyed the 2013 edition.
As colorfully festooned Mummers strutted just below her, thrusting umbrellas in the air, dancing, singing and raucously bringing in the new year, she saw a traditional family gathering: Her son, Dustin, 10, wore a red, white and blue jester hat; daughter Arianna, 5, watched gleefully in her own pink fairy wings; and husband Brian soaked it in while still jauntily sporting his bright green "Official Beer Taster" hat.
"This is the one most important thing we do every year as a family," said Rivera, who has family members who've participated in a Mummers' brigade as long as she can remember. "I always remember begging my uncle for one of his costumes."
Believed to be the nation's oldest folk festival, the Mummers Parade is often known as Philadelphia's Mardi Gras and features heavily costumed and painted comics, string bands and other brigades that march down Broad Street, the city's main north-south thoroughfare. Thousands turned out Tuesday on a chilly and overcast day, as the tradition was renewed for the 113th year.
One skit featured a festooned, glittery yellow tank and a gigantic red, white and blue "Uncle Sam" hat and was geared toward thanking members of the military. Another featured performers who amassed into a sea of pink to commemorate breast cancer awareness. The Second Street Stompers had on yellow hard hats as they marched and strutted in their blue and yellow skirts, while another group honored American Bandstand.
The Fralinger String Band, which had some of its props damaged in a warehouse fire last month, was back and marching, too. The group had an appropriate theme, "Back from the Dead," which was selected before the fire.
A band of Mummers wearing red devil horns and holding giant pitchforks marched by as first-time attendee Lisa Wielunski, 31, watched in awe. While it was her first time at the parade, the Drexel University law student from Long Island, N.Y., caught on quickly and was wearing a frilly pink cowboy hat.
As a child, Wielunski used to watch the more traditional New York City parade from the high-up porch of relatives. The Mummers Parade, she said, provided many more interesting nuances, to say the least. "It's kind of funny when the guys on the street have on more makeup than me," she said.
The parade mixes the immigrant traditions of the Scandinavians who welcomed the new year with gunfire, the English and Welsh who entertained with masquerade plays, and the Germans credited with introducing Santa Claus to their new surroundings. Black residents arriving after the Civil War added the signature strut along with "Oh! Dem Golden Slippers," the parade's theme song. The parade became an official city-sponsored event in 1901.
John Akard, 46, of Houston, took in the dizzying and deafening scene of debauchery for the first time, as he and his family met up with friends from Rochester, N.Y., to celebrate New Year's in Philadelphia. Noting the noise and chaos, as well as a "House of Screams" skit featuring a hearse with a body inside, he said he was glad to be sober and alcohol-free while taking it all in.
"It's a little crazy," he said of the scene. "If you were hung over, it would be a problem."
He and his friends, though, weren't afraid to show how much they had to learn about the Mummers, stumbling by accident on one of their most important and well-known traditions: their golden slippers, commemorated in the theme song.
"We asked about the gold shoes," Akard said, a little sheepish. "Apparently, that's a tradition."
Here are the winners from this year's Mummers Parade:
Comics Division - Murray took the top spot along with Murray Captain Dennis Pellegrino.
The Comic Brigade Division - The Goodtimes' Rabble Rousers took first.
Wench Brigade - Bryson took first place.
The Fancies ? Hog Island and the winning captain is Matt Glovacs of Golden Sunrise.
The String Band - Fralinger took first place; Quaker City - Second and Woodland - Third
The Fancy Brigades -- the South Philly Vikings took First Place; The Downtowners Second, and Saturnalien - Third.

The Notre Dame Cross Country team will compete in the NCAA Great Lakes Regional on Friday at UW-Madison. 2014 National Champion Molly Seidel ('16) and 2x Foot Locker Champion Anna Rohrer ('19) are coming off a 1-2 finish at the ACC Championships two weeks ago, so hopes are high for the women's squad.
Earlier this season, Flotrack, a popular track and field website, visited Notre Dame and caught up with some of the best competitors in the country. They also documented a pretty tough workout. Be warned, this video might make you feel self-conscious about your current workout plan, or lack thereof.
(If you're wondering how the camera people kept up with these girls... they were filming on bikes.)
